Kid Cudi went to Twitter on January 23 to build hype for his upcoming Netflix show and album, Entergalactic. He called it his “greatest work yet.”
The show has been in the works since 2019 and it originally had a 2020 release date. Due to COVID-19, however, it was pushed back to 2022. Entergalactic is being produced by Black-ish creator Kenya Barris, with Cudi providing voice work but, little is currently known about the show. The only things that we know are that it’s an adult animated series and that it is about “a young man going on a journey to discover love”. There is also a teaser that shows the animation style and the setting of a bustling city. Both the album and the show are being released on the same day, which we don’t currently have a date for.
ENTERGALACTIC is the greatest piece of art Ive ever made

On Jan. 20, Kid Cudi also said he is going to turn over a new leaf. In another tweet, he referenced his Kids See Ghosts song “Reborn.” The next day, he wrote, “Magical things are happening in my life, I can feel the Lords hand on my shoulder. If u’ve been watchin me my whole career, theres so much more to see. More than u can possibly imagine. #keepmovinforward. Remember these words. Im comin to fuck the world up in the most lovely ways.”

Speculation on Entergalactic’s plot
If I were to speculate on what Entergalactic is going to be about, my guess is that it will be about an alien crashing on Earth. The person that finds the alien is going to be a depressed person voiced by Kid Cudi. The alien and the person will then fall in love while evading the government that is trying to capture it. The alien will also be here to see if humanity is ready to enter the galactic senate. In the show, as well as in the album, the depressed person learns to love himself.
I am most likely wrong. Cudi did say “Entergalactic will be something you’ve never experienced,” after all.
